The second-generation iPod Touch may be overwhelming to users looking for a simple music player
Abstract: The iPod touch has been referred to as an iPhone without the phone because it’s just that: it offers everything that the iPhone does, except for the ability to make calls. That’s carried through in the 2nd-generation iPod touch – it offers the same gre...

Abstract: Apple describes it as (with apologies to grammar teachers—and I used to be one) as “the funnest iPod ever.” I won’t argue with that. It handles music, photo, videos, etc., with aplomb (as most iPods do) but is also a fin...
Abstract: Now in its second generation, the iPod touch from Apple is seeing a reduced price, improved hardware and a major influx of new features. The iPod touch was lost in the shadow of the iPhone in the past year, but hopefully this ingenious gadget will now ...
